If you feel alone, call someone. Reach out, and ask for help. That is the most adaptable, the most problem-solving thing you can do. You are asking from a position of strength, not weakness.

It takes strength to say, “Please, I need help. I can’t do it alone.” Whatever your “it” is.

That is your first step towards building your emotional resilience, towards solving whatever problem you have. Asking for help.

Please call someone. Please.

In the US, this is the phone number for the National Suicide prevention hotline: 1-800-273-8255

Each of us needs a support system. You can find your support system. People can help you.

That’s this week’s question of the week. You don’t need to be desperate. You don’t need to be alone, whether it’s depression or any other problem. If you are overwhelmed, can you call a friend? Can you ask for help? I hope so.
